[英语课(×)]听孩之宝设计师Mark Maher说：传世（Legacy）布兰卡开发幕后

加强级传世布兰卡（Pointblank）和他的目标战士（Tragetmaster）调停者（Peacemaker）终于能真正落在你的收藏中了！

在这里展示角色双形态的外观。我有幸为准星（Crosshairs，与布兰卡同属目标战士的围城系列加强级产品）做了细节修改，但我有点失望，因为我没能在那款产品上附属瞄准器（Pinpointer，准星的目标战士搭档）。

这一次，由于是我主导这家伙的设计，我认为有必要添加调停者。我也很快发现作为一款加强级和他的定价点上（需要）额外制作一个目标站士对（产品的）成本来说是多么具有挑战性。

在绘制布兰卡和调停者的时候。我参考并使用了很多大家熟知且热爱的艺术形象（作为设计方向），特别是在（开发）日程紧张的情况下，它们似乎对项目的启动（以及后续的开发）非常有用。

你可以看到这漫画风格的伪装形态非常适合（在玩具上）使用。我绝对喜欢他作为塞博坦赛车模式的版本。

莲井章悟（原文Hasui）先生占据了（开发的）主导地位，并提出了一个具有建设性的想法，那就是做一个从未在玩具造型上做过的鳍式头部（这个头型也是美版g1第四季和漫画造型，g1的玩具头更贴近于日系头领战士中布兰卡头部造型）。

g1动画中的任何东西对我来说都是一个挑战，即使是在后期篇幅（的角色）。

配件的成本被计算出来之后，还经历一大堆杂乱讨论来微调这个家伙（的设计）。莲井真的做了很多调整来复原这个家伙（的造型），我也没有一个好方法可以把他们都展示出来。（不过在这其中）我也添加了我的（一些）想法，以确保（通过）我们的一致努力使这成为有史以来最佳版本的布兰卡。

（玩具总体）效果是没什么大问题的。对于那些一直在询问（关于肘关节可动）问题的人来说，虽然只在肘部这里有一个旋转关节。

但这个家伙的关节范围完全可以提供非常多的姿势（摆放）选择，而且变形起来真的很有趣。手部变形是一种享受，我也等不及想让大家都得到这个家伙！

Deluxe Legacy Pointblank and his Targetmaster Peacemaker are finally here to hop into your collection!

Had to break out my mint Crosshairs to showcase how both of these bots looked together. I had the pleasure of doing the deco for Crosshairs and I was kinda bummed I wasn’t able to get Pinpointer in there. This time around since I lead the design of this guy I thought it was essential to add in Peacemaker. I soon realized how cost challenging it was to include a target master at a Deluxe scale and pricepoint.

The first image is my own redraw concept art of Pointblank and Peacemaker. Ive been really using alot of reference art that everyone already knows and loves, especially with tight schedules, they seem to be great for kicking off the project. You can see the reuse of the comics art alt mode here was perfect to use. I absolutely love this rendition of his cybertronian race car alt mode.

Hasui san took the reigns and made the great suggestion of doing the fin styled head that was never made in toyform. Anything that is in the g1 cartoon is a go for me even if its from the later seasons.😜

You can see an additional weapon engine accessory was costed out along with a bunch of other comments made to fine tune this guy. Hasui really had so many tweaks in order to fix up this guy, I just couldn’t find a way to showcase them all here. I added my comments to ensure we were aligned on trying to make this the best version of Pointblank ever.

You can see the targetmaster is blast effect compatible. There is elbow swivel on Pointblank for those that have been asking, but the articulation range on this guy really gives you a plethora of posing options and is really fun to tinker with. The arm transformation was a treat and I can’t wait for yall to get these guys!

Have a great weekend and thank you all for bringing your passion and support to the Transformers universe!
